Relive Kate Middleton's Best Maternity Looks to Prepare Yourself for the Sartorial Slayage to Come

We love following Kate Middleton’s maternity style, not only because she always looks completely polished, but also because she knows exactly what works for her. Case in point: the brilliantly blue ensemble that the Duchess of Cambridge donned for a trip to the Kensington Aldridge Academy in London during her second pregnancy with Princess Charlotte (who arrived May 2, 2015).

For the outing, which took place on Jan. 19, Middleton wore a beautiful cashmere-blend wool coat, that featured mother-of-pearl buttons and a crisply tailored cut, over a draped floral empire-waist frock, both by maternity label Seraphine. She completed her look with classic navy suede pumps and her signature blown-out waves, and also showed off that dazzling sapphire engagement ring.
